Instead of getting a glass of water for her daughter, Mr. Kennedy went after Mike. They were on the common room still chatting, but Mr. Kennedy interrupted them saying he wanted to talk with the green ranger.

Mike hesitated at first but he had no option and followed Mr. Kennedy outside the house. He wasn't sure why he was taking him out of the house –perhaps so that his cries for mercy weren't heard- but anyways, he followed Mr. Kennedy to the table and took a seat on one of the stools.

Mr. Kennedy did the same but took a seat just in front of Mike.

The green ranger was nervous but also angry. The man in front of him had left her daughter when she most needed him and was no around to help her. Every time Emily spent thinking about her family and what she had done to deserve it, Mike was desperately to make her happier. He had taken care of her, he had protected her, he had loved her and helped her in all he could and though he didn't mind, her father was an idiot for leaving her- or at least those thoughts were stuck in Mike's head-.

Mike did his best to stay as calm as his mind could keep him, because he wanted to say some things to the man had hurt Emily. But it wasn't correct and thinking better, he wouldn't want to get into a fight with the man who would be his father-in-law anytime soon. Not for him but for Emily.

Mr. Kennedy took in a sigh and looked straight to Mike. "Ok. I know who you are. You're my daughter's boyfriend, right?"

"Boyfriend?" Mike frowned. He had thought Emily said everything about what had happened in the last moths but it didn't seem like it. Anyways he didn't want to be the one sharing the news. "Uhm….yeah, yes. I am."

"Listen, I'm not going to kill you, don't worry. I know you've been taking care of my girl all this time and all I want to do is to give you thanks, for everything"

"The..the thanks?"

"Yes. As I see, Emily is fine and happy. She absolutely overcame everything about Serena and well, I'm so ashamed I left her. I thought when I came here, I would find a miserable Emily but your Mentor explained better you and the others helped her. And that's something I could never pay."

"Don't worry about it. We all appreciate Emily enough for not to let her" Mike said coldly.

Mr. Kennedy took the hint but even so remained calmed "Yes, son. And though it wasn't a good decision for me, it was for you, right? You became closer to her. I think the best option that my wife and I could do was get away"

"No, no sir" Mike shook his head immediately "I could get closer with Emily even if you and your wife hadn't left. It was…more than hard for Emily to understand what was happening in her world. Everything she had once had disappeared and it was hard for her to assume it. It took her weeks to realize you weren't there and it was hard for us to try to calm her down. So don't say your choice was the best"

Mr. Kennedy nodded "I…understand. Her mother and I made a huge mistake leaving her behind but…we have our reasons"

"I don't see what could be bigger than her daughter's sake"

"Look boy, I won't discuss with you that. I just want to acknowledge my mistake and let you know how grateful I am to all of you, especially with you"

Mike shrugged his shoulders "You don't have to. I would do that for Emily and more"

"Thanks"

A silent fell on the two men until, though it didn't feel tense. It was more familiar and more relaxed.

"So sir, are you going to stay now? No more trips?" Mike asked.

"It wasn't a trip" Mr. Kennedy chuckled "But yes. We're going to stay"

"Good, because though Emily is the best person I've ever met, she's still a headache"

Mr. Kennedy laughed and nodded his head "And you've only known her for two years. Imagine if it was you who raised her"

Mike started chatting with Mr. Kennedy and both seemed to have a particular way to match. Mike relaxed much more when he made sure his samuraizer wouldn't be needed. It was like Mr. Kennedy had softened and the true personality was rising on him but as soon as Mike felt good, it all disappeared in seconds.

"So son, what are your intentions with my daughter?" Mr. Kennedy raised an eyebrow.

"Uhm…what?"

"You're her boyfriend and I expect more than a love-affair with her"

"Of course, of course. I mean I…I love Emily, so much"

"So do I"

"Sure" Mike mumbled "Well, sir. I want to be with her"

"Alright, come here" Mr. Kennedy indicated Mike with his index finger to approach him. The green ranger gulped but did what he was told "Listen young boy. As long as you don't cause any damage on my girl you'll be fine. But, if I get to find out you've only been playing with her, I'll make sure you regret all days of your entire life, and your stupid toy samuraizer won't help you at all, understood?"

Mike nodded his head fervently as he started to faint- literally-.

Mr. Kennedy pat his shoulder and waled into the house. He went to kitchen for the glass of water and directed to Emily's room.
Mike, then, was just behind him because he wanted to see Emily too. But this action couldn't be worse. Just as he walked in, Mrs. Kennedy was hugging Emily happily but when the yellow ranger turned around to see who had entered, her father saw her.

The glass of water wasn't on Mr. Kennedy's hand anymore and as though it was a survival reaction, the green ranger hurried to go with Emily and hid behind her, and this one at the time was already hiding behind her mother.

"What is this?" Mr. Kennedy asked walking forwards to her wife.

"Dereck,uh, nice time"

"What is this?" Mr. Kennedy repeated again. He glared at his wife, then his daughter and then the man who was about to kill.

"Dad I can explain"

Mr. Kennedy shook his head and his face turned red.

"Dereck, come on, this is a little…"

"No!" Mr. Kennedy shouted. He pushed her wife away (not in mind what he was really doing) and took Emily by the arms. "What were you thinking?"

"Dad I…"

"Of course you weren't thinking! How can you be so stupid, Emily?"

"Dereck!" Emily's mom tried to take his husband back but he was stronger. Mike pulled to him Emily but Mr. Kennedy hit him in the chest by a slap.

"What the hell were you two thinking?!"

"Dad let me explain you" Emily said crying "Please…"

"Seriously, Emily? Explain what?"

"What happened here! Please…"

"It's obvious, isn't it?! You're pregnant! You both ruined your life!"

"No!" Mike disagreed "We…"

"You shut up!" Mr. Kennedy growled and turned to her daughter "And how old are you? huh? Tell me!"

"Nineteen" Emily said in a whisper "But I'm old enough to take care of…"

"You're a teen, Emily! A stupid teen that ruined her life and a teen that can't take care of a puppy!"

"That's not true, dad! I can! I can do this, I know"

Emily's father breathed and raised his hand at Emily but her mother evicted the slap and took the man's hand.

"What are you doing?!"

Mr. Kennedy took free his hand and stormed out of the room. Mrs. Kennedy went after him not before giving Emily an assuring smile. "It's okay, Emy"

The yellow ranger wiped out her tears and Mike hugged her tightly. "It's okay, it's okay"

"Mike, my father hates me"

"No, I'm sure he doesn't. It's just…"

"He was about to hit me, Mike. I've never seen him so angry."

Mike didn't know what do next and sat in the bed with his fiancé. He rubbed her back as gentle as his shaking hands could and Mia walked in the moment.

The pink ranger had a horror look on her face "What happened?"

Mr. Kennedy was out by his car, kicking and cursing each thing on his way to the woods. He had received the most impact new on his life and was not happy with it. At some point he understood what was happening but most of it he didn't want to believe it.

His wife was just behind him trying to comfort him but there was nothing on Earth that could calm him down.

"Dereck calm down!"

Mr. Kennedy shook his head and stopped "Helena those kids fucked up their lives! That guy ruined Emily's life. I didn't kill him because Emily was on the middle. How do you expect I calm down?"

"You tried to hit Emily! Is that going to fix things?"

Mr. Kennedy let out a growl and shook his head "I don't know what I was thinking"

"Well you weren't" Mrs. Kennedy snapped "Dereck you ever in your life raised a hand on your daughters…"

"I know, I know, I didn't mean to…do that. But…Helena, we're talking about Emily. Our little baby"

"Emily isn't a baby anymore. She knows what she's doing"

"Oh really?"

"Yes. Believe it or not your daughter knows what she's doing. Dereck come on, you always helped her. In everything."

"Yes. I helped her tying her shoes, riding a bike, cutting her steak…but not this, no to change diapers"

Mrs. Kennedy nodded her head and smiled. She wrapped her arms around him and said "She's not a little kid, yeah well her height doesn't help her" she chuckled "but she needs us. This is not a way of handling things"

"I never wanted things being like this. I always gave her the best. I gave both my daughters the best of me. And that wasn't enough"

Mrs. Kennedy shook her head "You made an amazing work. Don't let this change your rate. Don't feel bad, look, this took me by surprised too but we need to put us on her shoes"

"We already were" Mr. Kennedy whispered "Remember?"

"What happened to us doesn't have to involve her. Remember how our parents kicked us out of the house? You want that? You want her to suffer what we did suffer?"

"Of course not"

"Then don't repeat the story. Don't leave her side"

Mr. Kennedy wiped out some tears from his eyes and then some from her wife's. "We're talking about pregnant adolescents not pregnant very young"

"And that's why she needs us, we already left her once, we can't do the same twice. Emily's strong but I don't want to know how much she resists. Do you?"

"No" Mr. Kennedy hugged his wife tightly "I'm sorry. Let's come back, I think we have some appointments to do"

"I think so" Helena sighed.
